Medical Director of
Ghana's Kintampo government hospital Bismark Owusu Fosu has said the
death toll from Wednesday night's bus crash has now risen to 71.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
Fifty-eight
were dead on arrival at the hospital, 10 died after admission and three died in
a nearby hospital.
Investigators
say that the bus, which crashed into a lorry transporting tomatoes, was
overloaded with more than 70 passengers - it should have had a maximum of 63.
A transport official
has told me that the driver picked up other passengers on the way
home from work because their vehicle had been involved in an
accident.
